Lincoln replies to Browning's letter: "As you anticipate, I had
already recommended Judge Logan . . .; and more, I had already said
all I could consistently with this, in favor of Judge Lockwood. I
certainly esteem Mr. Bushnell as being every way worthy of such an
office. In moral character, and legal attainments, he is entirely
sound and sufficient. If you think this letter can be used to any
advantage, you are at liberty to so use it."
Abraham Lincoln to Orville H. Browning, 29 January 1850, CW, 2:72.
